RESIDENT EVIL: CRIMSON MORNING Chapter 2

March 30/42

LOCATION: Haztek Co., New Miami, Florida

7:31 P.M.

I hesitate for a while, hoping that that annoying ring will stop. My hand trembles over the phone, and picks it up in a swift scoop.

"Hello?" I ask with a little bit of worry in my voice, wondering who is on the other line. I get no answer. "Hello? Hello?!" My voice is starting to get angry really fast. The person's breathing on the other line is starting to get heavier and heavier, almost like the person is getting mad. Very mad. Minutes go by and I am still trembling at my desk, in front of a computer and a shit-load of paperwork. The intense breathing stops. I get only enough energy to say, "H-h-hello?" All I get is a woman's laughter.

"Hi, Dorian!" the now extremely joyful girl on the other line calls out.

"Dammit, Dana. That is the 3rd time you got me when I am working late!"

"Yeah, I know. Good, huh?"

"I guess."

"Why the down reply?"

"You would not believe this. My boss is going away for a few months."

"Oh, no."

"Exactly what I said. I think he said something about a funeral for a close relative."

"I hope you don't get fired or something like that."

"Yeah, well, I'll be home in a little while. I still have a little bit of paperwork to do, so I'll be home within a half hour."

"Okay. Don't get lost."

"What was that? Was that supposed to be a burn?"

"Well, uh, yeah."

"Anyway, I gotta get to work. See ya."

"Bye." Her phone clicks. I hang up the phone hoping that if I snap my fingers, the paperwork will disappear. And, (sigh) it doesn't.

I finally head home at 8:00. Very tired, I am. I get out of my car in a very sloppy way. Man, I really want to sit next to my wife in front of a good horror or anime movie. Can you feel the young love? I walk in the house and the lights are off. Beside me, I can here a slight hissing. The creature leaps at me. To my success, I throw the creature off. I see Dana moving the hair covering her face and the fake vampire fangs. She laughs. I frown.

"Aw, come on. Lighten up, Dorian. You can't tell me you weren't turned on when I leaped at you with the fangs in my mouth." She moves closer and throws her arms around me.

"Okay. I as turned on, but I am also in a bit of a bad mood." I sit down on the couch. She sits beside me and relaxes my shoulders.

"What's the matter, sweetie?"

"I recognized a familiar mark on a report that was sent to the substitute boss in charge Haztek. Who would know that we have a replacement for the time being? Anyway, the symbol looked like it had a sequence of red and white in an octagonal shape. I think I've seen it somewhere before. I'll have to call Fred tomorrow. See if he knows."

"Whoa. That is creepy. Wanna watch a horror movie?"

I put the DVD in and sit down next to my gothic wife. The movie ends at midnight and we head upstairs.

"Dorian?" She asks. "What would you think of me if I became a zombie? Would you still love me?"

"Of course I would. But why the extreme question?" I wonder.

"I dunno. Just seeing that zombie movie, I thought, if I became a zombie, like that'll ever happen, I wondered if you would still have me in your heart?"

"Like I said. Of course."

"Aw, gee, thanks. Are you saying that because you mean it or that's what you want me to hear?" She starts laughing.

"Yes."

"To what?"

"Both."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Goodnight."

ShadowAddi: Wow. It's been a while since I've updated. The problem was my computer was down. Lol. It's all better! Anyway, R&R!
